Summary AI Generated
GitHub Actions experienced degraded availability for 2.6 hours, preventing jobs from being picked up due to severe degradation in GitHub's API. The incident affected GitHub Actions and API requests, causing a backlog of jobs that needed to be processed. Recovery began when GitHub's APIs came back online, with some elevated wait times continuing as the remaining backlog was cleared.
We are seeing recovery from GitHub's APIs and jobs getting picked up again. We expect a bit of a backlog as jobs get run from during the incident duration.
